But General Olusegun Obasanjo demanded the extradition of Gowon from the UK Government when he was implicated in the failed dimka coup that resulted in the assassination of General Muritala Mohammed in February 1976.
Had the soldiers remained in barracks like they are today Nigeria would have developed much more than it is today.Soldiers were shedding blood out of greed to rule.
Murtala Muhammad was assassinated in 13th February 1976 during the Lt Colonel Buka Suka Dimka coup. Obasanjo took over power that same 1976 to succeed the late General Muhammed. Obasanjo was not Head of state in 1975. It was General Mutala Muhammed that was in Power in 1975. Obasanjo was military Head of state from 1976 to 1979 when he handed over power to Late Alhaji Shehu Shagari.
Gowon should tender unreserved apologies to Igbos. About three million Igbos lost their lives under his watch. He took war to innocent people. Ojukwu never declared any war. Rather, Gowon did. Ojukwu only defended his people.
@osaorobor9021 If I may ask, how did he save Igbos from total destruction? He (Gowon) took war to innocent people. Mind you, Igbos never declared any war against Nigeria rather Gowon did. He should apologise.
U are distorting history. When a man refuses to acknowledge the sovereignty and his allegiance to a nation , despite holding a public office ; what does that amount to ? You should be grateful for his no vanquished no victor declaration after the war
He sent his “wife to Abacha at midnight”? Explain!😆
